Neural network wind retrieval from ERS-1 scatterometer data
This paper presents a neural network methodology to retrieve wind vectors from ERS1 scatterometer data. First a neural network (NN-INVERSE) computes the most probable wind vectors. Probabilities for the estimated wind direction are given. At least 75 % of the most probable wind directions are consistent with ECMWF winds (at ± 20°). Then the remaining ambiguities are resolved by an adapted PRESC...
متن کاملWind field retrieval from SAR compared with scatterometer wind field during ERS Tandem phase
Several recent works [such as Vachon et al. 1996, Scoon et al. 1996 and Korsbakken et al. 1997] report promising results when wind retrieval models developed for the wind scatterometer (WSC) are applied to SAR data. The general conclusion from these works is that more validation is needed since the available in-situ material is relatively limited. A dataset from the ERS-1/2 Tandem phase allows ...
متن کاملInterannual Variability in Weddell Sea Ice from Ers Wind Scatterometer
ERS-1/2 SAR and Wind Scatterometer data are analyzed together with DMSP SSM/I microwave radiometer data to investigate interannual variability in Weddell Sea ice and summer melt signatures during the period 1992-1997. Simultaneous SAR and Scatterometer images were obtained during a February 1995 cruise of the H.M.S. Endurance and aerial photographs collected for validation of the satellite obse...
متن کاملStructured neural network modelling of multi-valued functions for wind vector retrieval from satellite scatterometer measurements
A conventional neural network approach to regression problems approximates the conditional mean of the output vector. For mappings which are multi-valued this approach breaks down, since the average of two solutions is not necessarily a valid solution. In this article Mixture Density Networks, a principled method for modelling conditional probability density functions, are applied to retrieving...
متن کاملERS Wind Scatterometer Commissioning and in-flight Calibration
On the 26th March 1996, the ERS-2 Scatterometer Commissioning Phase Working group declared that ERS-2 Scatterometer data were ready for distribution to end-users. This was the last step after nearly one year of work, firstly to find a way to recover the scatterometer, and secondly to perform in-flight characterisation of the instrument. Since then, the AMI instrument suffered some anomalies and...
